Did you Know?

It remains an undisputed fact that Cornwall, once a separate country, has never formally been integrated into England, which is why some even today still believe that Cornwall and England are technically two distinct countries – they maintain that it takes a specific Act of Parliament to merge the two countries, as opposed to merging them by stealth.

Cornwall showed a very different type of settlement pattern than Saxon Wessex. Places continued (even after 1066) to be named in the Celtic Cornish tradition not Saxon tradition and Saxon architecture is very rare in Cornwall.

Many maps of the isles prior to the seventeenth century showed Cornwall as a nation on a par with Wales, notably the renowned 16th century German and Flemish cartographers Gerardus Mercator, Sebastian Munster and Abraham Ortelius.

Cornwall was portrayed on numerous maps, including the famous Mappa Mundi, as separate from England right up until the mid 16th Century and Henry VIII even listed England and Cornwall separately in the list of his realms given in his coronation address.
